London-based rights group Amnesty international (AI) launched an urgent operation asking its members from around the world to ask for the release of 14 anti-coup students in Bangkok.
Members were asked to write letters in English or any language member uses to Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha demanding immediate and unconditional release of the 14 who are members of New Democracy Movement (NDM). AI said in a statement issued on Thursday that the organization considers the 14 as prisoners of conscience and call for the end of the restriction on the right of freedom of assembly in Thailand. The campaign will run until August 11.
